Successful Mining Enterprises in alexleO.

Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat.l
 Ex-Gov. Shepherd, who lately se- cured a liberal concession from the Mexican Government, has for years been making and IS still making regu- lar monthly shipments offrom S75,OOO to $100,000 to the Government mlnts, and the ore bodies now exposed in his famous mines at Batopilas, in the county of Andreas d3l Rio of this state, show a larger quantity and bet ter grade of ore than ever.
 The Pinos Altos Bullion Company, Tn Canton Rayon, of which Mr. Hu- bert Waithman is the general mana ger, has been in successful operation, with its 45-stamp mlll, for more than six years, during which time they have made constant shipments of from S40,- 900 to S50,000 worth of gold and silver bullion per month. Their supply of ore to-day is practically inexhaustible, and of higher grade, for the deeper they go the richer the ore becomes. This company also obtained concess- ion from the Government a few months ago giving them the exclusive right to prospect and develop mines within a large extent of territory.
 The new American company at. Cusihuiriachic, in the county of Ab- aselo, has 60-stamp lixiviation mill, turning out from s5O,OOO to S6O,OOO worth of silver bullion semi-plonthly.
 The Santa Eulalia Company, within ten miles of Chihuahua, find that the old reliable Santa Eulalia" mine, which in the days of the Spaniards was capable of standing a nine years strain upon it, by which it was made to produce enough silver to build the magnificent cathedral at Chihuahua, at a cost of $80O,00O-belng a spec1ai fund raised by the laying aside of 1 real, CT 12! cents, for every marco, or $9 worth of silver extracted from it. is still capable of supplying all the ore they need to keep thelr enormous mill grinding day and night year after year.
 These are only a few of the many enterprises in successful operation in the State of Chihuahua to-day. All of the other mining States of the repub- lie have theIr share.

Impure Wines

 The French are generally acknowl- edged to have the ability to produce the best wine, having had more expe- rience, better training and nicer taste than other wine-making nations. But they also have superior ability to dis guiSe wine, to treat 1t chemically, to make spurious article appear gena- me. There is no country Tn the world, it is safe to say, where wlne to-day Is so largely and cunningly adulterated as it is there, The tricks of makers are so subtle often as to escape detec- ton, and new tricks are each season introduced to insure deception. The French are so practical ana thrifty-a Maine Yankee is nothing to them that when an opportunity is offered
 for gain they embrace it instlnctively. It is notorious fact that quantities of California wine are sent over there, and returned here, after being duly doctored, as excellent Bordeaux and Burgundy. Many citizens of San
 Francisco, who have so deep preju- dice agalnst the native vintage that they will not touch it, will go into raptureS over the same thing in its Galliclzed form. French wines may be safely viewed with suspicion; they should be regarded as counterfeit un- til they have been proved authentic. We hear a good deal of the sherry and port drunk in England; but Ameri
 cans possessed of a palate can seldom swallow the kinds commonly sold. They are cheap in money, but dear in every other way. The best of them are fortified with alcohol-20 and g per cent respectively-and the poor qualities are nearly all alcohol. As the average. Friton relishes wlne and liquor that is heavy and strong which, in other words, burns and stlngs in going down the throat-it is not strange that the sherry and port he gets pIeases him particularly. A fine quality he would reject with dls- dam as lacking body and high flavor.

rFrnm the \. Y. Mining Rcco,


 (From the \. Y. Mining Record,)
 With some highly speculative fea- tnres at. present, the phenomenal bus mess activity in the Southern States, IS based on solid ground, as should be apparent from the living material, natural local forces employed in it as. for example, the nearness of an ex- traordinary abundance of coal, iron and limestone to each other, the cheap ness of labor, andNthe untroubled re- lations of employer to the employed As for the mountains 0f coal and irOn that are visible cn all sides in Tennes- see, extending southward al7s sloping into the foothills of Go5zg;a a1s55 ! l9a=- bama, geologists who have profession ally examined these deposits declare them to be inezhaustible. Practical men who have used the ores pronounce them suitable for making the best class of iron, while coke burners. are enthusiastic in praise of the coal as material for the,r ovens. The iron ore supplies of the North, never of such richness, are becoming so sensibly ex- hausted that Pittsburgh is obliged to draw on the distant. Lake Superior mines. The advantages of a region  that has all the material necessary for the production of merchandise iron, coupled with excellent transportation facilities, are too obvious to require explanation. It IS no wonder that many millionaires have been made ID the South in the past five years.
 As yet, however, there is one min eraI resource of the South that is re- ceiving no attention on the part of capitalists; we mean the rich copper ores of the Blue Ridge of Virginia so situcted as to afford uncommon adyan- tages and facilities for cheap mining and reduction and carriage to markets.

 The other morning as the janitor of a bank not very far from the Palace opened the door he was surprised to observe three stlred-looking citizens seated on the steps, the center one of whom held a sealed envelope careful ly in sight of his companions,
 "Want to make a deposit, gentle men?" asked the cashier, who shortly arrived. "step inside
 "No, I want to negotiate loan," said the man with the envelope, land there ain't minute to lose. I want 5000 quickern' hades can scorch a feather"
 "What cOllaterals haSsA Pu-GOv- ernment?" inquired the gaiGR official.
 Government nothin'. I've got something that beats 4 per cents all hollow. You see I've been sitting in a poker game across the street and there's over $4.000 in the pot. There are three or four pretty strong hands out, and sTve every cent,in the cen ter the boys have given me thirty minutes to raise stake on my hand. It's in this envelope. Just look at 1t, but don't give it away to these gentle men. They're in the game and came along to see don't monkey with the cards"
 "But, my dear SIT" said the cash fer, who had quietly opened the en- velope and found it to contain four kings and an. ace, "this is entirely ir- regular-we don't lend money on cards" 9:
 "Bht- you ain't going. to see, me. ralsed out on hand like1hat?' whis- pared the pokerist. "These fellows think I'm blufing, but l can justclean out the wfsole gang. You see we ain't playing flushes, SC I've got 'em right in the door,"
 Cant help it, sir. Never heard of such a thing" said the cashier, and the disappointed applicant and friends drifted sadly out. On the corner they met the banks President, who was himself just from a quiet little all night game at the Union. They ex- plained the case again, and the next moment the superior officer darted in the bana, seized bag of twenhas and followed the trio. In abest ten min utes he ;ett~ Ed with the bag and an extra handful of twenties which he flung on the counter.

The AngIO-Russiah DiiieuItir

The final meeting of the Afghan Boundary Commission in St. Peters burg was marked by sudden cordiali7 ty and friendliness on the part of the Russians, and this IS explained by pri- vate information. It has all at once been decided, the story jS, in the coun- cils of the Car to offer England the olive branch and even Russian alli- ance. This is the natural outcome of a rapidly increasing dislike between Russia and Germany, feeling which the former Is now daily expressing by anti-German tariff deerees and regu- lations forbidding the teaching of the German language. This is scarcely to be treated seriously at present, but it may be important in the future. Reports from Odessa say that this IS the worst year for Russian business known in a decade. The bankruptcy courts are crowded, and exchange on England has suffered rninous depre- citation. On the other hand, P5lan1 Is said to be in the most prosperous condition evet known, and the great fortunes amassed by the manufactur- ing classes, which are chiefly Jewish, are now systematically devoted to opening markets in the direction of the Balkans.-N.

Paris Dispatch of the London Telegraph.l
 The map of the heavens which the international astronomers, now assem- bled at the Paris Observatory, are talk ing steps to prepare, will be composed of from 1900 to 2OO0 sheets, and will give an exact impression of all the groups of stars. A new impetus will thence be given to the science of as tronomy, and it will be possible for astronomers to study the distribution of the stars and perchance the consti- tuition of the universe. So Admiral Mouchez and his friends are thus, it will be seen, engaged in a mos; i'm portant work, the value of which may be gathered in a great measure from the fact that they will be able, by means of the new and improved in- struments winch are used at the Paris Observatory to diagnose, ifsuch a term can be employed, the 1O0,000,000 stars which, accol ding to the statistcs com piled, exist in the Armament. Admi- ral Mouchez states that, with the aid of the apparatus manufactured by Messrs. Henry, the astronomers and opticians, heavenly objects were plain Iy visible, such as MaIa, one of the Pleiades. which had hitherto escaped the observation of astronomers, and ii is hoped that the same instruments wall enable further progress to be raa Ii1ad

Kifraim Ready for Sullivan.

~. Y. Cor of the Baltimore Americah.)
 There is a growing belief here that Jake Kllrain, the Baltimore athlete who has posted 5000 to meet Sullivan will prove an ugly customer for the present champion, and all the big talk of Sullivan will not wipe out that fact Billy Madden was enthusiastic to-day about Kilrain'S chances. Said he: "Kilrain IS in dead earnest in hls de- sire to fight the big fellow. He'll fight him or any one else to finish. Any one who thinks he won't can be con vinced by making a match with him. ] have made contract with him for a year, and ] wouldn' t have undertaken to handle hlm unless 1 thought he would be winner. He hasn't bound ed to the front at one jump, but he has come along gradually, and think you'll find that he'll be 8 tayer. He and Mitchell are tc-Tuox s=Tr rounds within the next two weeks. and as neither will give away polnt that he can help I think It will. be an exhibl- ton well worth seeing. I can't tell yet just where it will take splace. Ii may be here and it may Bsih Balti. more.
 "Kilrain is not fat, I'd yet he weighs 199 pounds in LIS clothes Mitchel has got big, too, and he weigh; 187 in his summer suit. He IS work ing every day, and is in pretty goot condition now. I think that aa soor as Sullivan gets back from his trip, hC and Kiirain will come to terms, a! Jake is now red hot to meet him II the ring. Then we'll see who Is tht quitter.'

The cattle market of Chicago is surely waning and is losing prestige as the great central live stock market of the universe. Pleuro pneumonia among her cattle. exactions of an afbi- trary and oppressive nature by the middlemen, the royal robberies of the producer by the dressed beef men and the growing importance of other mar kets to the south and west of Chicago are all influences that are dragging down that market and winch will shortly make It second to Kansas City aionc.-Las Vegas Stock Grower.

sIeep,ns Cars fer street Service.

From the American Manufacturer.
 The longest street car line in the world is in Argentine Republic, South AmerIca, and it will also be the only line in the world to run sleeping cars for the accommodation of its patrons. The road has 200 miles of track, con- recting a number Of towns in the vici- nity of Buenos AYres, and its equip ment has been supplied by Phila- delphia car company. Horses are used as motive power instead of steam, because fuel is dear, horses cheap, and tue people are slow. Two tons ofcoal will buy a horse and harness. The sleeping cars are a curiosity. They are four ln number, IS feet in length, and are furnished with four berth4 each, which are made to roll up when not in use. The cars are furnished with lavatorles, water-coolers, linen presses and other conveniences, and are finished throughout with mahOga- ny. The other cars are four double decked open cars, twenty platform cars, twenty gondola cars, six refri- geratcr cars, four poultry cars, furn- iShed with coops, eight cattle cars, two derrick cars for lifting heavy mate rial, and 200 box cars. They are ready for shipment and will be sent to their destination in few days.

Increase og Crime.
From the Globe-Democrat.)

ttrOm the GIObe-ll5IOcT3t.)
 There are considerably over G0,00G persons confined at the present time in prisons in the United States. This is nearly nine times the number of prisoners in 1850, so that. even mak- ing allowa1 ce for increase in Popula- ton, crIme, Q. at any rate punishment for crime, IS much Hore general now than then. That one person out of every 700 should be in prison in 1887 while in 1850 the ratio was only one to every 5000 is far from being cheer ful reflection, and 1t is notremarkable that others besides philauthropists are considering the pr1son problem. with view to make the system more pre- ventive If not more curative. The West compares very favorably with the East in regard to the proportion of prisoners to population, and Massa ehusetts seems the favorite home of the habitual criminal. In one county of that State one inhabitant out of every 27O is in jail.

The national boycott of Germans in France is one of the most striking evi- dences of bitter feeling between the two nations. A manufacturer of ve- locipedes near the frontier is under the ban of the government for en- ploying German workmen, and one of the most important papers in Paris attacks the French minister at St. Petersburg for keeping a German ser want. These exhibitions of spite and the banishment of Wagners operas from the Paris stage are enough to show a state of temper in itself dan gcr0us ty national peace.

When we think of the Mos!ems. "

When we think of the Moslems, we only consider that they have one book, the Koran They have, however, a rich literature. We have one Para disc Lost, the Italians thelr "Divina Commedia." Now the MOslems have their book of the same nature. It is called "Masnavi 1 Ma'navi, being the spiritual couplets of 9 famous man. It is regarded, especially by the Mo hammedans of Persia and India, as a standard document of the faith. second only to the Koran. In FA&sy, 1t is called "the amulet of the soul" and a learned author has referred to it as the Bible of Persia. It Is a beautiful poetic summary of Islam, iustifying the way of Allah to man.

American Capital Seeking Investment

There was a time, and that time is not very far back in the past either, when England's drum beat" was not half so ublquitous,Aor quarter so i'm pressive as England gold. In recent years, however, American capital has been making itself felt abroad to an extent almost as great as that of Great Britain. Dozens of important enter prises in Mexlco, Central and South America, as well as Tn Asia, have been put in operation by money furnished by citizens of the United States. The latest recorded project of this kind in the latter region i. that by winch an American syndicate, with $26,00O,OOC capital, has received a charter which gives them the privilege of operating all the telephones erected in China during the next thirty years.-Globe.

Archbishop Corrigan makes a good point against the George-McGlynn party by citing the Indians as a prac- tical example of the disastrous effects of the free land policy. It is very well known that among those people land has always been treated as a gen eral possession like sunshine and air." as the reformers are fond of say ing; and the result has been Tn every respect unsatisfactory. The simple truth is that private ownership of land is an indispensable condition of the progress of civilization. If men can not acquire a personal titleito the soil ttey will not cultivate 1t; and that im- plies state of society corresponding to the empty and proftless life which prevails upon Indian reservations.
